Giorgio Armani Beauty Holiday 2019: Get festive

Christmas is coming. Well for some of us, perhaps not soon enough. But in the meantime, Giorgio Armani Beauty has launched a limited edition coffer of dazzling festive lip colours to get into the mood. Accompanying the 9 neutral shades in the current Lip Maestro edition are 6 more with gold infused pearly pigments in plum, brown, red, pink, and pure pearl each in an eye catching red and gold tube for a quick swipe up to glam. Lip Magnet promises a no makeup-feel formula that gives an ultra matte finish yet with a touch of lustrous healthy shine to your lips.

Matte Nature by Giorgio Armani Beauty gets all warm and fuzzy.

Neutrals have never been more flattering and intense this fall. The new Lip Maestro collection has 9 lush neutral shades that boast light catching pigments that have a rich and velvety finish. 

Expect a lightweight liquid formula that swipes on and stays on with fall colours spanning sunkissed pinks, burnt reds to woody browns. 

The Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro Matte Nature (9 new shades) ($55) is available from 1 Oct at the Giorgio Armani Beauty stores at ION Orchard and TANGS at Tangs Plaza.

Giorgio Armani Three-Piece Power Suit

Giorgio Armani Beauty adds two new, skin perfecting products to its award-winning Power Fabric foundation range.

Together with the foundation, these two new products – Power Fabric Concealer and Power Fabric Foundation Balm – create a complete long-wear, high coverage face make-up routine. The complementary trio acts together to blur away imperfections for a matte finish.

The new, in a glance:

The Power Fabric Longwear High Cover Foundation range introduces 8 new shades, bringing the range palette to a total of 20 shades. Interestingly, the range is composed of quarter shades, for that ultra-precise match.

5 shades make up the new Power Fabric Concealer range, comprising 3 light shades and 2 medium shades. It is formulated to hide specific imperfections, from dark circles, redness to blemishes, while being blend-able. In addition to this targeted coverage, the concealer’s precise, ergonomic applicator also allows for blending over large areas of the face.

With its transformative texture that goes from balm to cream to powder, the Power Fabric Foundation Balm collection offers 10 long wearing shades. The balm’s combination of waxes and oils creates a soft, comfortable application with a fine, non-greasy finish on the skin.

The idea behind Power Fabric is to make sure women do not have to give their make-up another thought during the day. Are you ready to #takethepower?

Ume flower oil, a richly nourishing ingredient has been incorporated in two new products that joins this skincare line:

• Le Blanc Essence Lotion, is a 3-in-1 fresh and milky brightening lotion that restores essential skin lipids to leave skin radiant, restored and revitalised.
• Le Blanc Crème Fine and Crème Riche is an innovative new whitening and moisturising cream with two texture options, infusing the complexion with moisture, leaving it glowing with reflective radiance. 

Pollution particles, air conditioning, screens, dry air: urban life accelerates the skin aging process.

UV Essentiel is enriched with natural antioxidant and anti-pollution ingredients, offering complete skin protection, while maintaining optimal hydration. It aims to prevent the appearance of skin aging, pigmented spots, wrinkles and dryness.

Beyond offering an anti-UV protection against UVA and UVB rays (SPF 50/ PA++++), the new UV Essentiel combines two natural and complementary powerful ingredients:

• Life Plant PFA, which acts as a stress protector and prevents DNA damage.
• Desert Yeast Extract deactivates the stress in order to regulate the damaging effects of pollution on the skin by stimulating the skin’s natural defenses to reinforce its barrier function.

Lancome UV Expert

Most of us fail to realise the importance of a good sunblock. Exposure beyond the recommended amount of sun exposure, incidental or not, can do some serious long-term damage to our skin.

Lancôme’s new UV Expert range proposes a solution for all city dwellers looking for a way to shield their skin (and keep premature skin aging at bay) from daily external aggressors such as UV rays and urban pollution.

Now infused with the Edelweiss flower, the new UV Expert range comprises 4 products in an all-new sleek white and rose-gold packaging. From the basic colourless Aqua Gel and Milky Bright sunscreen; to the colour pigment-free Tone Up Milk that brightens your complexion; and a BB Complete with nude shades to even out your skin tone.

UV Expert Aqua Gel & UV Expert Milky Bright actively protects the skin from spots and darkening while still keeping it mattified. While the Aqua Gel is non greasy, non sticky and quickly absorbed, Milky Bright’s milky texture is easy to spread and leaves skin with a comfortable and hydrated feeling.

UV Expert Tone Up Milk Pearly White has an added feature of enlightening the skintone and making the complexion look fairer and, with time, appears healthier.

UV Expert BB Complete is available in two shades with shade 1 offering a bright skin tone and shade 2 granting skin with a natural tone for a healthier look.

Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Serum Mask

Korean luxury beauty brand Sulwhasoo is offering all screen-weary eyes a soothing break with a new serum eye mask. In line with the brand’s commitment to established traditional methods and herbs, fans can expect this to be a potent herbal soup for tired eyes. The Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Serum Mask is made with the brand’s trademark steam-brewed high quality ginseng in a formula that soothes and strengthens while hydrating against fine wrinkles and laugh lines. For this mask, a blindfold-esque wrap has been designed to incorporate a protective outer sheet while an inner sheet works to deliver the ginseng goodness straight to skin. Instead of just dabbing from a pot, this mask hopes to give eyes a good pamper during a disco nap, on a red-eye to an important presentation, or just after a heavy night out celebrating. 

Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Serum Mask comes in a box of 8 pieces at SGD95 and is available at all Sulwhasoo boutiques and counters from September 2019.

Tom Ford Research Serum Concentrate and Crème Concentrate

With the many fans garnered with Tom Ford’s makeup and perfume range, it can be expected that there will be much interest in his latest skincare (for men and women) that boasts three star ingredients – caffeine, cacao and gyokuro. In both serum and moisturising cream, a rare variety of cacao called White Porcelain Caco is added to protect skin from free radical damage due to its high polyphenol content.

After extensive research by the man and his team of scientists, they found that caffeine increases and supports hydration while Gyokuro, a highly-prized variety of green tea helps to further soothe and shield skin from the ravages of pollution. Also added are hyaluronic acid and peptides resulting in a rich and potent formula that is intended to jumpstart tired-looking skin (the serum) and plump it up for a creaseless, smooth and radiant finish (the creme). 

Tom Ford Research Serum Concentrate 20ml retails at SGD503  and the Crème Concentrate 50ml at SGD588. Available now at Tom Ford Beauty Tangs at Tang Plaza, Takashimaya, Robinsons Raffles City and Tom Ford Boutique at Marina Bay Sands.

Water hugging the the curves of her lips.

Introducing the latest addition to the Mon Paris family, the Mon Paris Parfum Floral.

Sublime yet dangerous;

a blooming bouquet in tune with the many colours of love;

a floral chypre fragrance.

Mon Paris Parfum Floral opens with a fruity sharpness consisting of bergamot zesty essence, pear flesh, zingy raspberries, and peach pulp soft sweetness. At the heart of the perfume: the mysterious, alluring datura flower, known for its hypnotic characteristics, gives way to the exotic jasmine sambac, elevated by the orange flower and magnolia essence, with the gentle peony accord. Underpinning everything, the grounding yet sensual patchouli essence, a provocative and earthy musk, and cashmere as comforting and warm as the embrace of a lover.

The scent is airy, light, and transparent. Breathe it in, like a field of flowers on the faintest breeze, and savour the freshness of this new blooming opus. Allow yourself to reminisce about the past, to drift off with your lover to another time, another place in your head.

What better way to tell the story of Paris through two young lovers, to bring the deep intensity of this floral parfum to life.

Tied around the bottle’s neck is a new iconic lavaliere embedded with flying crystal petals adds to the elegance; the asymmetric brooch inspired by YSL couture’s floral and ornamental style.YSL Top Secrets Instant Matte Pore Refiner
